All steel 236/85/R16 LRF
Looking for an all steel construction load range F tire in 235/85R16. Looks like Sailun and Hercules are LR G. My trailer is only 12,000 GVWR.

Sailun makes LT and ST tires. Just saying Sailuns doesn't tell us much.
The OP is dead set on load range F or G for that smaller 12k trailer that most likely has at the most 9400-9600 lbs on the axles. This equates to 2500-2600 lbs per tire.
The trailers axles most likely are a 6 lug axles/6 lug wheels at 80 psi max rated eliminating using 110 psi wheels.
Any ST E or LT E tire at max sidewall pressure would be a better choice than derating a load F or especially a very heavy G tire.
I know rv folks like to over tire their trailers well above recommended capacities but its some thing we don't do on our hi mileage commercial trailers (serous full time haulers).
Over tire meaning = using a tire that has too much capacity to the point it needs to be derated with low tire pressures for that class tire.
Explain why derating is not an option. and why is over tire a bad thing. I would rather be a bit over tired then close to the tire rating. If he is looking for a high mileage tire, then the Endurance is not going to give it to him . They are a weekend warrior tire , someone looking for a tire to last for 5-6 years ,but not over 20k on miles .
